Opinion
Per Curiam,The Public Utility Commission by order dated May 3, 1971, rejected appellants’ applications for a further hearing on an award of a Certificate of Public Convenience for the construction of an electric transmission line over certain lands title to which is in dispute. The Commission determined that the transmission line was necessary or proper for the service, accommodation, convenience or safety of the public. Appellants here, claiming to have an interest in the land involved, requested the Commission to reopen the proceedings so that additional evidence might be produced. When their notices of appeal were filed they failed to set forth their exceptions to the Commission’s decision. This procedural error is fatal to their cause.
Section 1101(b) of the Public Utility Code, Act of May 28, 1937, P. L. 1053, 66 P.S. §14311 requires that *392all appeals from orders of the Commission specifically set forth the errors of the Commission. The appellants have not complied with this statutory requirement. When proceedings governing rights of appeal in public utility cases are statutorily prescribed, they must be strictly pursued. Hyam Associates, Inc., v. Pennsylvania P.U.C., 199 Pa. Superior Ct. 3, 184 A. 2d 414 (1962). Having failed to do so, we enter the following:
